This is one of my go to spots downtown for lunch. I usually order to-go before or after the lunch rush through the app or online. The food is good - I usually order their miso, sushi or their chicken katsu curry. They have decent specials worth checking out. It's a chill atmosphere outside of lunch hours. Overall it's a solid place. They offer a variety of food at a decent price. There's a manager there that is hands on and attentive - big shoutout to him as well as the staff there. I know they put up with a ton - especially with it being a downtown crowd. They do an awesome job. read more

Server touches the inside of the bowl when serving food to the table. Rarely see them using the food tray.

The food was decent, the egg rolls were hot I do wish the main meal (orange chicken) was a bit hotter. Plus side the food came out fairly quick! And since I was by work it was a plus. I do have to say the service it self like to order was very slow. My party and I were standing at the counter for quite some time before being helped. I could tell they were not staffed which I totally understand but just putting it out there. And with that being said there were a few tables that still had plates and not cleaned from previous parties. The bathroom was not cleaned at all. So I would recommend order and take out. I feel like if they had more staff this wouldn't really be an issue. read more

I called & spoke to a gentleman named Ryan regarding some food related things. He was super polite to begin with but he went to ask the sushi chef and ended up making the whole experience so much better. Great customer service & food read more

I eat here when I'm downtown pretty often. It's also my go-to for delivery sushi, mainly because they seem to get the order right more often than not. The sushi is quick service level sushi. It is just above super market, however that is reflected in the price. $8-$10 for a classic 8 piece roll in Orlando is a steal. Their bowls are all pretty good, and I actually think they are better reheated. You order at the counter and then have a seat. After a night of fun downtown it's simple, easy, and quick. Tip: always get the crab Rangoon, they are great here read more

I have been going to bento for years but recently my last experience will make me want to come back to the DT location more often . We sat at the sushi bar and the sushi chef was more than accommodating . I told him my bf was not a sushi lover and he took it as a challenge and made us a sushi type sandwhich to try it was amazing and my bf loved it . The other food came out so fast and the servers were quick and happy to any of our other requests . We also used the app and got to take home a friend rice for free . Love this place for fast service Asian fusion !! I got the pad Thai which you can never go wrong with . read more

I visit downtown Orlando from New York and WISH we had Bento where I live! I always opt for the hibachi bowl with steak and extra yum yum sauce. Portions are large and they serve up your meal super quick. Definitely a quick service place that gets busy. Others in my party chose the bento box and sushi and everyone left happy! read more

First time here did not disappoint! I came with my dad for lunch, and we decided on ordering the sesame chicken stir fry and the pad thai. Both dishes dishes were absolutely delicious we kept taking bites of each others! The staff was very friendly, and our food came out quickly. Everything was so yummy! Would recommend this place and can't wait to come back! read more

A great spot for sushi. It has a casual vibe to it and is perfect if you're looking for a quick bite to eat before going downtown. They offer sushi, poke bowls, stir fry and noodles dishes. My go-to is the sushi however I've tried the poke bowls and the teriyaki chicken dish. All were a hit. The food is pretty consistent among all of the bento locations. The fish is fresh. The servers are nice and helpful. They are knowledgeable of the menu and a happy to make recommendations. I went with a couple friends and they didn't really know what to get the server at the front was very helpful with making selections. It is a small location so I'm sure it does get busy at times. We went at around 8:00 p.m. so there wasn't many people there. We had about a 15 minute wait for our food. When we went the women's restroom was closed so they were down to one toilet. Pro tip come on the weekdays for their happy hour special of buy two classic rolls get one free. read more

I'm a noodle gal and have ordered from Bento at another location before. My previous order was too saucy and unbalanced but this location really met the mark! The Shanghai Lo Mein with chicken was delicious and made just right. I went at the beginning of the downtown lunch rush, so there was an understandable wait. The staff I interacted with was very friendly. read more

I will say two things about this Bento location. 1. Their takeout is about the worse thing I have ever seen. I waited a full 30 minutes longer than I was told it would be for my takeout order. But, that actually holds true for all three Bento locations I've ever done takeout at. So, a word of advice, if you're ordering takeout from a Bento, tell them you want to pick up the food 30 minutes before you actually want it. I'm not kidding. 2. Once you finally get your food, Bento has the best quick service sushi in the entire Central Florida area. I do not remember what rolls I got that day, but you can check the picture to see how bright and vibrant they look. All of the seafood tasted fresh and had a good texture. The sauces and herbs they used were not too much, and complemented flavors well. And the little crunchy things they put on that one roll were genius. Sushi roll's biggest lacking sometimes is texture, so these flavorless little balls of crunch were perfect. Overall, four stars is the perfect way to describe this place. Not perfect, but still amazingly delicious. read more

30 min wait for a few sushi rolls and no one else in the restaurant. These people move at turtle speed

I'm going to start by saying I will never patron at any bento again. I don't remember what time we arrived but it took about 20 mins to get our food. There were other ppl waiting for their orders so it could've been a bit longer. By 10:30 they had turned off the lights in the entire place. We were still eating. The food was decent, the only reason I'm giving more than one star. They also offer beer, seltzers, & wine. I enjoyed the garlic string beans & miso soup. The rice & noodles didn't have much flavor. The spring rolls were greasy but I am glad they were veggie ones. The wontons could've been better. We asked for no avocado in our sushi roll. We sent it back but didn't want to wait for a remake. A bit pricey for the portions. The place seemed clean but overall not a good experience. read more

I made a big fuss about my sushi order which I thought took so long. It felt long because my husband and I were catching a show. Since I couldn't make it in time if I finished the 2 sushi rolls I ordered, I requested to put one in their frig for me to come back for after the show. Christian and Show, the sushi chef were very kind and made me a new fresh sushi and even gave me a complimentary salad and was even offering me soup. Christian and Show were very understanding and professional about my fuss I created in the beginning and were even extra nice when I came back. Very friendly service and just shows how they care for their customers. And to top it off, they serve very good sushi! read more

Bento is BOMB!! I'm absolutely obsessed with Bento Asian Kitchen. I am a basic sushi lover. For the longest I would only eat California rolls. Now that Bento has come into my life I have ventured out of my comfort zone. Tonight I arrived at their poké bowl and I loved it so much. The ingredients at Bento are so fresh. Like SHIITake mushrooms how have I been missing this my entire life. Also, I was sick today and realized that this is the perfect meal when you need to put something in your stomach but cannot have lots of sugars or dairy. Fresh and filling. read more

Fried rice was very good as was the chicken katsu. No traditional katsu sauce though, which I really miss. The white rice for the poke' bowl is a sushi rice which is quite vinegar-y, not expecting that was the only let down. read more

Had the fried rice bowl with chicken and steak. The meal was a little bland. Can't pin point what it was but 2 hrs after eating the meal had ran right thru me. If I lived here I wouldn't try my luck again read more

I always enjoy bento and think they have good food. I haven't been to this location in years, but its good to see it made it through the pandemic! Centrally located in downtown and convenient. Quick service which is really nice. The food was good, although I would t recommend orange chicken and udon noodles, I couldn't make up my mind of what I wanted and this combination turned out to be very sweet. 4-star rating for this visit at this location because there were som dirty tables around that took a while to get cleaned off. read more

I really enjoy this place for food. They have a good selection, but the menu is super easy to follow along and get what you want. Or you can try one of the main dishes, and they know what they are doing. The food came out really quick and was really hot. I was shocked at how fast they were with how busy this place was. This is a perfect place for a quick meal or to take your time and enjoy the food. read more

Cool vibe and great menu offerings. I ordered a create your own bowl and got to choose two bases, two proteins, five toppings, two small extras, and a sauce! And there were so many options within those options. I truly could customize it however I wanted and make it healthy for my eating style. My bowl was fresh and very yummy. I will say though, for the price, I thought the portion was very small. I got double salad as my base, and I could have sworn it looked like a single portion. I only got two pieces of cucumber and one slice of ginger, and they completely forgot my edamame. The fish pieces were pretty big but very few and far between. All in all, the vibe of the restaurant is cool and the food was tasty, but the portions left a hole in my wallet with me definitely wanting more. read more

Terrible service, I haven't seen such rudeness anywhere for a long time,They lie about the waiting time for the dish to be prepared, and then they are rude and say, get out of here if you don't want to wait for it. read more

Mmm Bento! This is by far my favorite Bento locations throughout Central Florida. Came into the restaurant and our order was taken immediately. The staff was very attentive and busy! The establishment is clean but a little too crowded with furniture that it was an obstacle to get to the restrooms. Our order was taken, we sat down and our food took maybe about 20 minutes to come to the table. I don't mind the wait for food because that's an indicator that they're making it fresh. I ordered the chicken katsu Japanese curry, and my boyfriend ordered the chicken garlic broccoli noodles. The food was piping hot and so delicious! Definitely a place you should eat at when you're around town. The menu seems a lot simpler than other places, and I'm glad. Wish I took a picture of our food before we slammed it -- it was so delicious! This is the ONLY Bento place I'm going to! read more

I've been to quite a few locations of Bento, so it's high time I wrote a review. This one came in clutch for my and my crew after walking the streets of Downtown Orlando! You order as soon as you walk in the door and the food is brought to you. The food came out quite quickly and it did not disappoint. My food was not as hot as I would have liked this time around, but no serious complaints. The food tasted fresh and is always presented beautifully. Great spot if you are into Asian Fusion. Always a quality meal! read more

It was okay but the noodles were well overcooked and I had the shrimp and beef very little beef very little I had to ask for more because I didn't even think it was any in there in the first place. But I would never eat there again read more

The food was delicious and fresh! My daughter and I both ordered sushi rolls and we were extremely happy with our choices!! The waitress was not very friendly. When we asked where we could get napkins, she curtly pointed to the back area by the soda machine. Later, I asked if we could get a to go box and she again pointed back on the counter by the napkins and never offered to get them for us. She seemed very annoyed with our questions. Having never been there before, we had no idea. I'd go again though, the food was amazing!! read more

I would give them one star for service. They have a sign that says they are "experience longer wait times due to covid and number of employees." Seriously? I counted 4 people out in the service area and there must have been at least 1 cook. I was the only person in the place and it took 20 min. Ridiculous. Food was good so they get 2 stars. Step it up people. read more

Ordered online- said the order would be ready in 20 minutes, arrived on time and waited another 25 minutes for my order after the individual behind the counter said it would be 5. Good thing I checked the bag, we had ordered 2 salads and they were not in bag. Made it home in 5 minutes and the stir fried noodles were cool at best. Little flavor other than soy and noodles overcooked. Egg rolls and dumplings clearly from a box and not that good. Sushi was below average. We would not go back. read more

Every time I have been here, the food was great. Customer service was very little interaction, that doesn't bother me a bit, but may to some. My only real complaint would be it just seems dark in the restaurant, I get its location, but it could be a tad brighter inside? read more

Over priced food just to get a giant long hair wrapped in your mongolian chicken. The quality and quantity of bento just truly went downhill. read more

Glad they have this place as we were a bit hungry. A colleague and I came here for the first time. At first I was taken aback as you have to place your order upfront and then they'll serve it to you. You basically have to go get your own drinks...kind of self serve in a way. Not used to it but I don't mind a change. The service was incredibly fast and the food is actually very good. I would definitely dine here again. The staff were friendly and accommodating. read more

I know, it's almost a cliche to say I like this place but you know what... I do. I first visited Bento when I lived in Jacksonville and came to enjoy some of the dishes a lot - I like their chicken katsu curry and my mom likes their noodle dishes. It's predictable, yes, but sometimes that's ok and just what you're looking for. I appreciate that at least it's a local-ish chain and the price for the food (which usually allows for a second leftover meal) is also not something to sniff at. Is it the best food ever, probably not. But at those moments where something good for possibly picky eaters is needed this will do the trick. read more
